The
Durbeck Archive Complete Opera Performance/Recording
Dates Count by Year(LPs
only - no 78s or CDs)

This table shows the count of the
number of operas which were recorded in each stated year. The
dates refer to the year of each recorded performance, not the year
the LP was published and issued. For example: in the year 1907,
two complete operas were recorded (DIE FLEDERMAUS and I PAGLIACCI);
in 1990, only three complete operas were recorded on LP (three
Hungarian operas). In between 1907 and 1990 a lot happened and
as much as has been possible is documented in The Durbeck
Archive. Continuing ........................ to 1908
